I have an electric toon, too, and it needs it almost as badly, but in my experience Light is actually worse. However, I would hope they'd be in the same group.
I was light from the time it came into being, but I switched to Earth just recently because it was so bad.
Yes, mine has recently been semi-retired until they fix it. I'm not even trying anymore. Thank God she's not my only toon!
I think they'll nerf Ice a little. Isn't Ice already Mid Ranged? Fire was already Mid Ranged too but still got it.
